Tin; following from "ilrynold's
Newspaper" erf" Sept. 1st, published in
London, is significant. It shows that
although the sympathies of ¿he English
people: must of course lie strongly en-
listed for their «wuntrymen, and their jea-
lousy for their power; yet futís cannot
Mwjc i«*l¡ t*pÁk, however mf<Uatut I.
must be told. The truth is, England is
now a monarchy* only in name. Demo-
cracy is last gaining ground there, and
freedom of speech and of the press has
long been recognized as a right.
"The latest intelligence confirms our
prediction of tfie entire revolt of tlie
Ondean army. Every man is in open
rebellion; nur can it lie wondered at,
when we reflect upon the felonious man-
ner in which we obtained possession of
their country, and the diabolical cruelty
practiced by the late Sir H. Lawrence in
his endeavors to keep possession of it. He
has met a just fate, a fate that should
teach a military martinet, that human
beings be they black or white rnussul-
mans or christians, are not to he hang-
ed, beheaded, or blown from the canon's
mouth with impunity. The severity of
Sir H. Lawrence was not justified by
circumstances. The Oudeans had com-
mitted no outrages on our women,
children, no such atrocities as those per-
petrated at Delhi were enacted at Luck-
now; therefore the bloodthirsty meas-
ures of Lawrence were most unjustifi-
able. They obtained for him the eulo-
gies of the "Times" but cost him his life.
"And now while India is slipping
from our grasp, onr cotemporaries are
attributing the outbreak to any Ibut the
true causes. The "Times" thinks that
the 'greased cartridges' and the sermoniz-
ing of Col. Wheler are at the bottom of
all. The Editor of the ¿¿Morning Adver-
tiser" gravely tells us the Pope is the
chief mover in the business.
"Ask Prince Albert what is the mat-
ter, and that obese German gravely in-
forms us that the Representative institu-
tions of England are the cause of the re-
volt.
"Mr. Uquhart says that Lord Palmer-
ston having received a certain number
of lacs of roupees is in confederacy with
the hiutíneers- Not a newspaper but
onr own; not a statesman except ' ^Isra-
eli, has had the independence to declare
¿he true cause of tlie revolt.
"Blink the truth as they may, neither
newspapers nor Statesmen can conceal
from the people the fact that Tndia is
r ting for her independence, and to
i " "velf from British domination.
i* making an efTort to achieve
thut >iich every natim is justified in
strivmj to attain. She is in arms to
avenji herself on h>*r tyrants."

Young lato student.—" Bill, cau
you tell me what sort of sickness this
Winter Fever is?"
Young medical student, (pulling up his
shirt collar,) " Why of course. It is
nothing in the world but—but ordinary
" congesto turbidoso " or what you law-
yers would term "an adjourned case of
billious fever."—lets larger !"
Snaggius says he was treated shamefully the
other night at the party, ami to relieve his pent
up "íeelmks. he ' borrowed the loan of tli.-
Masheen," anil worked up the following: —
The -'days ot miracles are past"'
'Tis thought by every one. *
But as the sailors say, 'avast"
In thinking thus that you're too fast:
I'll prove before I've done—
Now you who studied "chemistry"'
And other learned toines.
Will laugh no doubt to think I,
In this ' enlightened century,*'
Should still have faith in "witchery"
Hobgoblins, sprites and gnomes.
Yet spite of ridicule aud scorn.
I boldly do assert,
No witch or wizzard ere was l>om
''Since crows began to pull up corn"*
Like ail accomplished Flirt.
¿"en her of Endor. it is said.
(More fame*! than all the rest)
Ere she had power to raise the dead.
Or blights upon the harvest shed,
Or do a "deed unblest,"
Was forced to leave her soft warm bed.
At midnight's dreary hoie-
A hd thro" the country scour,
To culi with "incantations dread"
Some herb, or root, or flower!
lJut modern witches—flirts, I mean.
All foreign aid despise—
They cull no flowers from wood or green,
And ne'er on broomstick nags are seen
Careering through the skies.
A smile, a frown, to them full well
In lieu of "spells*' suffice—
With frowns they'll cast us into II—I.
I>ut ere the brimstone we can smell.
A smile transports us (strange to tell)
Plump into Paradise!
They'll flirt at every rout and ball,
Aud waltz and promenade,
With Tom. and Dick, and Jim, and Paul.
Uutil our hearts are filled with gall.
And "love" is gone beyond recall!
When lo! one smile atones for all
The mischief thev have made!
With haughty nm-n and airs so grand'
They'll treat us with disdain!
lint when we vow we'll quit the land
To glider o'er some foreign strand—
One gentle pressure of the hand
And we are slaves again!
' Yon seem to be animated by
1 this fine autumn scene, my dear Anna,"
! said a lover.
"No," said she, ft?.ver shall be
i .Anna-mated till I bctiSgjjij^mr wife."
¡ UQT" There is a uiait iH.1t>1' so witty
| that his wife manufactures all the but-
I ter that the family uses from the cream
¡of his jokes.
